    Ability to remove outline of scatter plot markers

    Currently, scatter plot markers are outlined. This is preventing us to use Spotfire for some publications that has very specific format requirements.

    Improved/Intuitive Color Properties

    There is an issue with the color by: option within visualizations in Spotfire. Currently I have created a 10 step color scheme starting with Purple ending with Yellow (see: Color Scheme pic). When I establish this color scheme in Properties > C...

    An idea to improve CustomVisualization loading performance

    So far, at least in WebPlayer, each time, when user switch back to our visualization from another page, all the HTTP content (js, css...) of the custom visual will be reloaded through GetResourceCore() API. The browser can't cache them as a normal...

    Categoric custom color scheme import needs improvement - I need to choose the colors. And More.

    I have needed this feature for the last 10 years. When I import a set of colors that I have saved to library, there is no way to choose how the colors are mapped onto categoric values. Spotfire just takes them in order and it's always the same. Th...

    Summary information in Chart Visualizations

    Allow optionality to 'Limit data using filterings' on 'Marking' subsets

    The ability to use and view 'Marking subsets' in a visualization is hugely powerful and heavily utilized in my workflows. While the marking-subset's resulting data shown in a visualization (the data selected by that Marking) is limited by the 'Lim...

    Possibility to hide empty tooltips

    When configuring tooltips in a visualization (including mods), it would be very useful to be able to hide the tooltips (Empty) to make them more readable when a high number of columns is used. Having something similar to the "Show empty labels" ch...

    Combo Chart Enhancement

    Option to set axis font color instead of defaulting to "series by" color. I can't use yellow or light colors for bars or lines because the axis will be unreadable. Option to have multiple scales when using stacked bars with lines. Majorly limits v...

    Table Coloring - Additional Automated (Improved) Coloring Options

    The ability to apply coloring to both the text and the background of elements in a table-type visualization is very useful. The automated options (Spotfire categorical, Spotfire categorical, Blue categorical, etc) are also very useful and time sav...
